Holiday Greetings From Eudora Welty’s Kitchen

I don’t know about you but I’ve spent a lot of time in the kitchen this week (thankfully daughter is home to help) and the seasonal greeting from the EWF came at just the right time…

the greeting also included a reminiscence from Miss Welty’s foreword written for the Symphony League of Jackson cookbook where she noted “any fine recipe used in Jackson could have been attributed to a local lady or her mother – Mrs. Cabell’s Pecans, Mrs. Wright’s Cocoons, Mrs. Lyell’s Lemon Dessert. Recipes, in the first place, had to be imparted – there was something oracular in the transaction – and however they were made after that by others, they kept their right names.” I just love that!
